Some Republicans are weary of their party’s attempts to shutdown the government on issues they cannot win.

“I’m tired of the people on my side of the aisle who have been pushing this strategy, even though they know they don’t have the votes,” said Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., up for re-election in a state Obama carried twice. “Therefore, they can’t answer the question, ‘What’s the endgame for success here?'”

The Republican bill would have set prison terms of up to five years for doctors who performed abortions 20 weeks after conception.

According to the Center for Disease Control only 1 percent of abortions take place after 20 weeks.

Of Planned Parenthood’s 2.7 million annual patients, only 3 percent undergo an abortion.
